This is a great stat to keep an eye on.

Second in the league in point differential, after four games.

Heavily affected by the Saints game. Nice to see but a small sample size. Get back to me at the halfway mark.

I just want them to keep the foot on the throat. They were totally in control of the Steelers game and the Zona game. Let them back in it, and didn't need to.

And the Lions are heavily affected by the Bears game (and Browns). And the Bills are heavily affected by the Jets (and Saints). And the Colts are heavily affected by the Dolphins…

I don’t disagree that it is a small sample size, but just about every team has now had the opportunity to blow out a weaker opponent, and these are the teams that are taking advantage of the opportunities in front of them.

There’s a pretty big drop off after the Colts.

3rd through week 9. We’ve taken a giant step forward this season… Also of note the NFC West is by far the best division in this category with every team in plus territory.

Also everyone in the top 5 besides the rams have played 1 more game than us.

But we're losing the 4th Quarter. It's unsustainable.

Last I checked, the Rams were at +82 and we are +81

 

[FLSeahawk]

Number 1 in the league

That bears having a negative points differential while being 9-4 is low key crazy

That bears having a negative points differential while being 9-4 is low key crazy

Happens when you lose a couple of blowouts.

Even with an underperforming offense for the last 3 weeks we’re still #1… oh and only 2tds behind the almighty rams offense through 15 weeks
